Roanoke County parents now can pay for school lunches online
Roanoke County Public Schools has begun using myLunchMoney.com, a new service for parents to prepay for their child’s school breakfast, lunch, and a la carte food items using a credit or debit card.
“Using www.myLunchMoney.com is easy and convenient for parents. Enrolling and adding money to a lunch account is simple and completed online,” said Ed Tutle, supervisor of Nutrition Services for Roanoke County Public Schools.
“Once a student’s account is established, parents can check balances, view student purchases and add money to their child’s account via computer, phone or fax.” Tutle said.
All transactions are kept secure. All personal and payment card information is protected by the most advanced internet security.
Best of all, with the recurring payment option, money will always be in a child's account. When a child’s account balance is low, money can be automatically added to the student’s account.
To enroll in the program, parents should go online to www.myLunchMoney.com and click “enroll now.” Parents should create an account for themselves and their children. Parents will need to know their child’s nine-digit student ID number (this is not the same as the student's lunch ID number). Parents can find their child's student ID number in the letter sent home in September or by calling their child's school.
Parents needing assistance can call the toll-free customer support center at 1-800-479-3531 for questions or assistance with enrollment. Support personnel are available Monday - Friday from 8 a.m. - 7 p.m. Parents needing assistance also can send an email to mlmsupport@sl-tech.net.
